Cardiovascular Diseases and in Diabetes importance of Fenofibrates and Statins

Journal Title: Acta Medica Ruha - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

The prevalence and development of CVD is negatively influenced by behavioral, environmental and metabolic risk factors. The top three cardiovascular risk factors are high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with 11%, dietary risks with 17% and high systolic blood pressure with 25% (1). Individuals with diabetes are in the higher risk group in terms of CVD. Therefore, it is desired to reduce LDL cholesterol. Statin support is initiated to reduce LDL cholesterol. This is because statin support has been shown to reduce lipid density, matrix metalloproteinase expression transferred to the environment through macrophages and inflammatory cell density in atherosclerotic plaques, prevent LDL oxidation and increase collagen fiber density. However, despite statin support, CVD risk persists in patients with diabetes. In addition, another objective for reducing this risk and preventing/improving CVD together with LDL cholesterol is triglycerides (TG). Because it has been explained that there is a causal link between high TG levels and CVD. Fenofibrate is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARa) activator and has lipid, especially TG-lowering activity. However, the function of fibrates is controversial and still not clearly explained. Fibrates are recommended for patients with dyslipidemia who have high triglycerides despite statin administration. Fenofibrate has therefore primarily been considered as an alternative to statins for lowering TG levels in patients with diabetes.
